Still, it was a historic achievement and a potentially important one for the growth of the game.
“If we consider the percentage of women who entered this field, three making the final table is a tremendous statement about the talent of these women,” Poker League of Nations founder Lena Evans told CardsChat News. “For the final table to be 50% women shows how support for women poker players via education and staking is truly making a difference.”
